"Bad news, Father my company has gone broke," Michael Hall wailed. "The people from the tax bureau came... To investigate my tax evasion. I'm afraid they will find all about it soon. Help me,Father!" "Michael..." Cried Wallace Hall in a tearful voice. Wallace broke into a cold sweat after he hung up the call. His fingers could not help trembling. Now, two of his family's companies had gone bankrupt and two of his son's were taken for investigation. Plus, even his sole patron Michael, had been taken into custody. It was until now, Wallace realize how formidable James was. "You..." You're a demon!" Wallace pointed at James with his trembling finger. His phone had previously dropped on the floor from panic. "Why do you have to push us this far, Mr Miller?" James did not want to offer him any explanation. Instead, he picked up the two cups on the table and threw them on the ground. "The next victim would be your beloved grandson, Mike," James said as he put another cup on the table
Why are you kneeling for that bastard, father?" Grace was barely aware of what had happened during her faint. "Stop it honey," said Turner. He did not dare to offend James now after witnessing what he was capable of. "Why should I?" Grace staggered forward and said in a condescending tone, Here in HonorGrave, we the Hall family are the ones to determine..." Shut up, will you?" A slap cracked on her cheek the moment she went over to he father. "You pompous idiot! How could you slap Mrs Miller?" Snapped Wallace. Grace was surprised by the slap. Why did you slap me, dad?" Grace said in tears. You deserve it!" Wallace has now began to repent for his sins. If he had foreseen they would end up like this, he would have definitely made up a different decision. He would have just let Allen Bailey in jail and not care about what might happen to him, even if he died there. It was really stupid of me to help Allen, that wretched son of yours. Now, even if my family is finished. Father, you
"I don't know the exact details of what had happened." James waved her questions, neither denying nor admitting anything." He continued, "Why we were in the midst of our negotiation yesterday In the living room, Wallace suddenly stepped out to take a few calls. Thereafter the news of their organizations collapsing out.""Really? Ava was still a little suspecious. She asked again, don't tell me this was your doing?"James was stunned by her question but managed to recover swiftly. He flashed a cheerful smile. "What are you thinking? Do you think I would be able to pull off something like that?"But, your family..." Ava was interrupted by James just as she was about to rebut.You're right, my family does have the means to make something like this happen. However, you know very well I'm still trying to mend the relationship with my Dad. I would definitely not use my family to pull strings," James explained truthfully. He added," my dad had assumed that I would not be able to survive on m
Yes, I hear you." Turner nodded a little surprise by Grace's reaction. He had originally expected her to hassle him into helping the Hall family. However, her firm resolve had caught him by surprise. Grace had made it absolutely clear that now was not the time for them to prioritize kinship. She was already in dire straits. She had neither the means nor the energy to worry about them as well. "One more thing," she said anxiously and got back on her feet. She continued, "We must move out as soon as possible. Let's go to our house out of town. We'll lay low for a while and wait till some time to pass before doing anything. What she actually wanted to do was to hide from her own family members. Okay, I'll organize the packing right away. We'll leave as soon as possible." Turner walked briskly upstairs. Grace followed suit and began packing all of her jewelry and clothes into the suitcases. Then, she remembered her eldest daughter, Angela at the Black family. "Hi, listen to me Ang
Everyone was stunned when they heard that.The seat was the exclusive spot for the general manager of the group.Only Turner was qualified to seat there before.It had taken him more than a decade effort to get into that position.However, it took him much shorter to be botted out of his office.Ava was much younger than Turner, yet she managed to reach his position within a year. A year ago, she was just a mid level manager in a subsidiary. Within such a short period, she had already risen to the executive level.From then on, she had become the second most powerful person in the group."Mrs Ava, please take a seat. The chariman's assistant pulled out the chair for Ava respectfully.Ava paused for a second because she knew what this spot meant. Then, she took a deep breath and sat down.The meeting started."Today..." Jackson seriously said, "I have called everyone here today because I have an important announcement to make. It's about a change in the company.From today onwards..."
"Amelia, is he the person you were threatening me wirh?" Kim scoffed when she saw that James had arrived alone. Then, she stomped her stylish high heels and yelled, "I know him. He's your son in law James, the famous loser for being useless. Let me tell you, she reached out her finger with blue polish nails. Then, she hissed evily, "How can you afford this? You're just humiliating yourself! Do you have any idea how expensive this place is?" Every piece of land here is gold. It's supposed to be a community for celebrities like me, not lowlifes like you. They shouldn't have allowed you in. Amelia could not just sit there and allow Kim to scold her. Kim, you shameless bitch! I know you were a mistress when you were young. God knows how many married men you have slept with. We are lowlifes, but we are certainly better than you!" "Who are you calling a mistress?" Kim shouted as she put her hand on her hips. "Amelia, you haven't gotten enough beating just now, right?" Do you want to have
"You're really a big talker, aren't you?" Joshua sneered. He stared at James and said, "What's else have you got other than the two auctions you help Leo with?"What makes you think you can be so presumptuous? You're just an underling! Did Leo not teach you anything about social manners?""Get on your knees now and apologize to my wife." Joshua narrowed his sinister eyes. Then, he ordered in a threatening tone, "Give yourself a hundred slaps.""A hundred slaps?"Ava and others exclaimed, widening their eyes in shock.Joshua was provoking James to his limit."How could you..." Amelia hauled Ava before she could mutter and stand up for Ava."Ava, stop. Don't go over." Amelia firmly held Ava's arm. We can't afford to mess with these people. It was James who slapped Kim, he should be responsible for it."Ava was extremely shocked upon hearing Amelia's words. Mom, are you serious! Didn't James did that for you? How could you turn your back against him now?"You created this big hot mess an
"Are you done making a scene yet?" Ava had already gotten angry when Amelia first started blaming James. Who is the one that caused us to end up in this situation? If not James you two would have already be..." Ava grew more upset as she spoke and took a deep breath. "Mom, Dad, even if you are not thankful towards James, you still can't reprimand him like this in front of so many people, right?" "Ava, you have really grown up now, hm?" Amelia was furious, seeing how her daughter was being protective of James. You are actually speaking up for this loser and yelling at me." I am your mother and I am doing all of these things for you. Plus, it was James who hit the woman. What does it have to do with us? We got hit too. We are also the victims. "Also, you should not anger Joshua. He has connections with everyone, there is that Corey too. He is also trouble. If this matter get out of hand, he will not just been paying some money. We might even go to jail. Ava was about to get a strok
